Having problems with your Vacuums ?

Dear Sir/Madam,
My old faithful Hamilton Beach Mixer, now 60 years old, is still
working but recently I was told by someone who looked at the
motor that it needed repair or replacement. Is it still possible
to get it in working condition?

Answers :

If the armature shaft is worn there might be a problem, but that would be about the only one, Bushes/bearings can be replaced as can brushes. If the armature shaft is worn, a fix can be formulated but it will require some engineering work. Come back to me if you require any more information on this repair,

We have a Singer 626 sewing machine. It's an old mechanical machine with heavy metal parts. The stitch selector was stuck, I removed the top and helped the selector to move. when I had to move the selector again, it was stuck and I pushed too hard and broke a component. I can fix the machine if I had a repair manual. I need to buy a repair manual. How and where can I get one?
Thankjs

I have a whirlpool personal valet steamer system that is mounted to the wall. The system was in the house when I purchased it so I would suspect it's about 8 - 10 years old and I cannot find the manual for it. When I push the start button it automaitcally cancels the set up and will not run. I have unplugged it for a while and then put it back in and it's worked before but not anly longer. How do i get a manual or can I find a repair person to look at it.

This is not an electrolux problem, but I am hoping one of the experts can answer the question. I have a Sears air compressor that suddenly stopped working. After looking at how the motor case is put together, it appeared that it would essentially have to be destroyed to get it apart and into the motor. I received a new compressor for my birthday so I decided to tear into the old one to do some diagnosis. After getting into the case where I could see the motor/pump, I have discovered the prob

Hi, The thermostat on my PoltiVaporetti (1300) is not working. I can't find an appliance repairer in Brisbane, Australia. The repairs haven't got means to access problem spots and cite no way of getting possibly needed parts.

It sounds like this machine has some kind of fault in it for sure. It can be repaired again, but will likely need to be repaired again after that - down the road. Personally I recommend you just get rid of this unit and go for a different model. Y ...

Need a replacement drive belt for my hoover lark u4043 not sure about last no. it's an old machine, but this one is in perfect condition, minus the drive belt.
my local vacuum specialist says they can't get them anymore. where can I get one or a suitable alternative?

HiAs you know the Hoover Lark was more or less a rebodied Hoover Junior. The U4043/ (are you sure its not U4034?) model should use the same round drive belts as the Hoover Junior 1346 so youre looking for the old rubber ring type belts which ar ...

My microwave appears to work in all aspects except the important one, it is not heating. It is 7 years old. Is this repairable or does it need replaced?

Probably a blown fuse. i would not suggest fixing yourself as there are extremely dangerous voltages inside. to have service shop fix would cost 80 to 100,m prob best to toss and buy new. ...

I have an Electrolux LITE upright carpet cleaner - about 15 years old. Suddenly last night when using it, from the normal motor (whooshing) sound, the motor suddenly went very slow and with a slight grinding sound. The brushes are now just turning round very slowly and areobviously not picking up anything. Has the motor gone or is this repairable, or should I just get a new cleaner? I have tried to open the machine from the bottom to see if anything is obviously wrong, but it looks complicated a

We have a series e rainbow cleaner. my wife had been using it i turned off and turned the canister up sie down to get the serial number. it would not turn back on.we need a new hose and thats why i was looking for the serial num. it has a rocker switch and the motor will work on low but will not run on the suction side. i have checked the wiring harnesses out as best i could without taken it all apart. im wondering if it may be the switch. it started once and then stopped.

There is one way to verify if it is the switch.It's kind of dangerous though,but not too bad.You need an extra piece of wire,fairly thick.I would use 4 guage myself.Hold it with pliers,just in case it gets hot.Turn the switch on and hold the wire to ...

I have a Kenmore vacum model 11622612200 and it has been working wonderful, however the belt has broken and I cannot get the cover off, I need to look at a manuel to find out how to replace the belt.

Dyson DC07 The plastic pre filter catch snapped on my Dyson. I have a replacement already, but can't figure out how to remove the bottom of the broken one. It looks easy enough to slide/snap the new one in but accessing the old one isn't easy. What do I need to do to get it out?

Turn your dyson over so you can get to the bottom undo the screw and then you can see the bottom of the clip a gentle tap with with a screw driver blade will knock it out and the other one slips in ...

I have a Eureka 4870GZ. It turns on, but the brush roller doesn't move. The belt looks fine. I do have an extra belt and would try replacing the old belt, but I can't get the old one off the motor shaft or the new one on. I called Eureka customer service. The lady said there's supposed to be a small space between the motor shaft and the outside edge of the vacuum where I can slip the old belt off and the new one on. I don't see it. It looks like the motor shaft goes into a recessed place in the

Cord replacement I need to replace a damaged cord (the reel works). How do I get the top off so I can remove the back end? Once I get it off, will I be able to change the cord, or do I need to buy the whole reel assembly? (and thanks for the help - I love this site!)

You will probably have to replace the whole reel cord. Depending on your model, on each side, there is a bar in the middle that will slide off, then the 2 halfs will come apart. They will only slide in one direction. If an older model, there are s ...
